]]> We’re heading into the second half of the spring season where thunderstorms, warm days, and time spent outside with friends and family become the name of the game. Choosing the right beer to enjoy in the months of May and June comes down to finding an option that combines flavor with a refreshing character and an ability to go down smooth. Here are three styles that you should add to your beer list.

New England IPA

New England IPAs are the best IPAs in our opinion for this part of the year. Fruity, juicy, and tropical, they can be a little too heavy for the summer season but the next couple of months are an ideal time to enjoy this beer which goes great with a warm day outside.

Amber Ale

Instead of reaching for a macro lager, why not try an Amber Ale? This beer has a relatively simple flavor profile but packs so much more flavor and body. Try sipping one of these along with a burger or steak at dinner time.

American Pale Ales

Are you a fan of hops? If so, an APA is a great option for your late spring beer cravings. A better choice for casual sipping than conventional IPAs thanks to their lower alcohol content and more relaxed hop profile, APAs are a wonderful choice at this time of year.

]]> Spring is finally here, and that means all kinds of exciting things for foodies like us! Beer is one of the most seasonal drinks out there, and it is finally time to put away the heavy, dark beers of winter and move onto something a little lighter and refreshing for the warmer season. Get prepared for spring by seeking out these beer styles at your local shop!

Gose

This tangy, salty German beer style has undergone a surge in popularity over the past decade or so. Fruity and low in alcohol, this is a perfect beer for sitting on the patio on a warm spring day or for mowing the lawn.

Kolsch

Another German beer comes in on the list of spring delights to try. Hailing from the city of Cologne, Kolsch is a pale, low-hop, highly-drinkable beer whose warm-fermentation brewing process leads to a more flavorful end product than most lagers.

Saison

Funky, floral, and downright unique, saisons are the final beer that you should add to your shopping list this spring. Fermented using natural bacteria that impart an unmistakable taste on the beer, Belgian breweries were the first to perfect this style which can be made using a wide variety of flavors.

]]> Winter is, without a doubt, dark beer time. These rich and malty brews work especially well when temperatures drop and people are looking for beers to warm them up instead of cooling them down. Dark lagers have grown increasingly popular in recent years and here is a selection of them that you should put on your list to try this winter!

Schwarzbiers

Schwarzbiers are a German invention whose name literally translates to “black beers”. Relatively light for a dark lager, with an alcohol content of around 5% and coffee, chocolate, and malty notes, this is a good style to start your dark beer journey on.

Doppelbocks

Stepping up the strength and alcohol content a bit are doppelbocks, a strong lager which also hails originally from Germany. Toasted bread is the prevailing flavor of this beer, which is a stronger, darker version of the traditional bock.

Baltic Porters

Baltic porters are a special variation of porter ales, which are made with warm fermentation. Baltic porters, however, are a special style that began to be cold fermented in the Baltic region in the 19th century. This makes them lagers even though they have an ale-like strength and richness.

Are you a hop lover or looking to get your feet wet in the world of hoppy beers? Try these styles!

India Pale Ale

India Pale Ales are probably the most well-known and popular hoppy beer on the market. With a variety of different styles that are suited for all tastes, do some experimenting and discover which one you most like, whether it’s the fruity New England IPA or the malty English IPA.

Pale Ale

Pale Ales are like a toned-down version of India Pale Ales. If you’re a little wary about the bitterness of beer, this could be a good place for you to start making inroads in the hoppy beer world.

Barley Wine

Are you looking to try a beer style that’s a little more unique? Barley wines have alcohol contents that typically range from 8% to 12%, hence their names, and are packed full of sweet malty flavors that contrast with intense hop bitterness.
